Baseline arteriolar lumen diameters
| Afferent Arteriole | Efferent Arteriole | |
|---|---|---|
| Untreated tissue donors | 22.2 ± 1.1 μm (n = 19) |
21.5 ± 1.6 μm (n = 5) |
| Enalaprilat-treated tissue donors | 24.7 ± 1.4 μm (n = 17) |
23.7 ± 1.5 μm (n = 8) |
Values are means ± SE (n = number of arterioles). Kidneys and blood harvested from untreated or acutely enalaprilat-treated (2 mg, ia) Sprague-Dawley rats were utilized for in vitro studies of renal microvascular function.
